Old English walnut & lacquer furniture : the present-day condition and value and the methods of the furniture-faker in producing spurious pieces
A 1923 New York study of English walnut and lacquer furniture by the furniture historian R. W. Symonds, published by R.M. McBride and aimed at collectors and dealers wary of forgeries. Its plates show upholstered walnut chairs and stools photographed in pairs on plain grounds, rotated sideways on the page. The chairs have carved, cabriole-style legs with ball feet, and the upholstery shows floral damask and brocade patterns that a designer could draw on for period textile motifs.
